there is only one way that flex plate will bolt to the TC. once you can get 2 lined up then all should go.

thats what i thought but i can only get 3 of the 4 bolts in one just doesn't line up. i've moved the flexplate in every way possible. does the year difference have to do with it . my flexplate is a 96 model and the torque converter is a 94. i don't know this is my first jeep.iknow this is an easy fix but, it is giving me alot of trouble.would it hurt to drill a small hole in the flexplate just enough so that i can mount it

check for an additional set of holes in the flexplate. It may be that it was intended for another application as well from the factory. I don't know if the 42RH torque converter is different from a 46RH due to the 6 and 8 cylinder difference.

You did not state the engine you have. I was assuming it was the 5.2. I am pretty sure any of the V8s use the same flex plate. Are you leaving all the bolts slightly loose so you can move the tc a bit to get the last bolt in. they have to be perfect. I sounds still like you have to maybe spin the tc a bit more. Man its been a while since doing one,

Don't drill it to fit. there is a reason that they make if fit only one way. What engine do you have? Was the tranny from a jeep with the same engine? These are a few things you need to post.
